• Bernadine is the BEST

  Bernadine was AMAZING! As soon as we started the walk to the caves, she is so knowledgeable and it felt like we were listening to a podcast or audio book with how well she explained the history of the region. Then in the cave she did such a remarkable job of making sure we felt safe and described all that was to be seen. The tour never felt rushed and she truly made it a wonderful experience.

• Amazing experience but not for everyone.

  This is a somewhat physical trip. There is a hike to the cave entrance with 3 water crossings along the way. You are on foot and the water can get about chest high for an average adult. You are equipt with a helmet, headlamp and life jacket and there are ropes to guide you across the water. Then the entrance of the cave is accessed by swimming or wading in water before you begin your roughly 90 min tour of the cave. There is some mild climbing and wading through the water as you move deeper into the cave. Your guide will point out points of interest along the way. There is a lot of information to take in along the way and lots of history about the Mayan artifacts and remains found in the cave. All very interesting and fun to learn about as you twist your way through the cave. I have been in several other caves but this Good experience is unique as you are guided through certain areas of the cave and climbing across other parts to access all of the point of interest. Very unique and differ them all of the other caves I have been in before. You are required to have a guide in order to access the game. They were all well trained and well educated about the cave itself and keep safety and reservation of the cave as a top priority. If you like adventure and something that's a little off the beaten path. This is a great experience. Very unique.

• ATM Tour 👌

  Great experience! James was excellent. Geology, mythology, philosophy, human history… and (wet, dark, tight, beautiful) caving, oh my! Be sure to book the first available tour of the day as the site gets crowded, slow and more touristy / less magical as the day goes on!

  Ruwa helped me and my husband plan a 7-day Belize trip and they did an amazing job from start to finish. They customized the entire package for us and took care of everything, including a beachfront hotel and all our transportation/shuttles. The attention to detail really showed. We never had to worry about anything, everything just flowed. We had such a great time in Belize! We loved being immersed in the culture, trying local foods (like delicious pupusas!), and exploring beautiful sights. The highlight of our trip was definitely the ATM cave tour. It was one of the most unique things we have ever done. I loved the mix of hiking through the jungle and swimming into the cave. Seeing the ancient artifacts still in place and learning about the Maya culture made it feel like stepping into another world. Our guide, Akim, was very knowledgable and explained a lot about the history that made the experience all the more interesting and special. Phones weren't allowed at the ATM cave but the team shared some pictures with us after. Throughout the trip, our coordinator Maya stayed in touch with us and was so friendly and quick to respond. She checked in on us, helped with any questions we had, and made sure everything was running smoothly. I would definitely recommend Ruwa Travels and we already plan on using them again for our next visit to Belize.

  

  

  

• Absolutely incredible...

  Absolutely incredible experience! Our guide, Akim, was both knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We loved learning about the history of the Mayan culture and the cave offerings, but the real thrill was the adventure itself — swimming through cave waters, crossing rivers, climbing rocks, and squeezing through tight passages. Truly unforgettable! The only downside, understandably, is that phones aren’t allowed — so you can’t capture the adventure on camera.

• Unforgettable adventure with an amazing guide!

  Had an amazing day! I would recommend this tour to everyone. Our guide James was so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the Maya cave system. He took plenty of time to tell us about the ideology, geology, and archaeology. We learned a lot, which really helped us understand what we were looking at. There were a few challenging parts, but everything was very doable. Truly an adventure!

  We travel a lot, but the ATM Cave tour was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The cave itself is absolutely fascinating, but what made it truly exceptional was our guide, Gissell. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the history and preservation of the site. Her clear instructions and thoughtful guidance made us feel completely safe and allowed us to fully enjoy the adventure. If you’re in Belize, don’t miss this tour — and if you can, ask for Gissell. She made this experience absolutely perfect.
